:warning: This repository is not ready for consumption :warning:

A skeleton for creating API focused applications with [CakePHP](https://cakephp.org) 5.x.
This application comes with the following customizations:

- JSON output is enabled. HTML rendering is discouraged.
- HTML focused middleware is not included. Sessions, CSRF, and secure cookies are not
included.
- Simpler Route configuration

The framework source code can be found here: [cakephp/cakephp](https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp).

## Installation

1. Download [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md) or update `composer self-update`.
2. Run `php composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/api-app [app_name]`.

If Composer is installed globally, run

```bash
composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/api-app
```

In case you want to use a custom app dir name (e.g. `/myapp/`):

```bash
composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/api-app myapp
```

You can now either use your machine's webserver to view the default home page, or start
up the built-in webserver with:

```bash
bin/cake server -p 8765
```

Then visit `http://localhost:8765` to see the welcome page.

## Update

Since this skeleton is a starting point for your application and various files
would have been modified as per your needs, there isn't a way to provide
automated upgrades, so you have to do any updates manually.

## Configuration

Read and edit the environment specific `config/app_local.php` and set up the
`'Datasources'` and any other configuration relevant for your application.
Other environment agnostic settings can be changed in `config/app.php`.
